Captain Pieter Moller

Pieter grew up on the west coast of South Africa in a small town called Vredenburg, spending weekends and holidays free-diving for lobster. 

After 16 years in the family business, the call of the sea finally became too strong to ignore, and he decided to pursue a career as a yacht Captain. 

He has a passion for fishing, diving, water sports, and all things ocean-related, and loves sharing these experiences with guests while exploring the beautiful Caribbean. With six years of experience as a Captain, Pieter has put down roots in the Caribbean, which he now proudly calls home. 

His first love, however, came long before sailing. As a Divemaster, diving will always be his greatest passion. With extensive knowledge of the ocean and its marine life, he enjoys sharing his enthusiasm and educating the next generation of divers. 

When he isn't at the helm, you'll find him crafting Instagram-worthy cocktails. As an accomplished mixologist, he'll make sure you always have a drink in hand.

Chef Julia Creigh

Coming across the seas from the East Coast of Australia, Julia grew up baking alongside her mother and grandmother learning the home classics and passed down family recipes. After a challenging few years working as pediatric nurse during the global pandemic, she took the opportunity to explore the world, tasting culinary delights in many parts of Asia and Europe. 

Julia comes from a strong hospitality background working in several established venues in Sydney both behind the bar and front of house. She has completed a number of culinary courses with Le Cordon Bleu, the Australian Patisserie Academy and now Galley Gang and is so passionate about delivering delicious food and a unique hospitality experience.

First Mate GK Hwata

Born in Zimbabwe and raised between Zimbabwe and South Africa, I have always been happiest in the water. Fishing, spearfishing, freediving and scuba diving have always been my greatest passions, alongside volunteering with the National Sea Rescue Institute in South Africa. In 2017, I decided to make the ocean my office and became a scuba diving instructor. Since then, I have been fortunate enough to exploring some of the best dive sites on the planet. 

One of my greatest passions is continually expanding my knowledge of the ocean. Over the years, I have completed courses in underwater photography and videography, as well as shark awareness and behavior.

After nine years as a diving professional, the time has come for a new adventure—one that allows me to spend more time on top of the water than beneath it. I am looking forward to creating unforgettable experiences for guests onboard and helping them make memories that will last a lifetime.
